We laid an egg. It happens. But Ty took a page out of Sloan's playbook when he didn't call a TO in the first 5 minutes of the second. We only gave up 4 or 6 points on the differential, but we were running nothing and needed a teepee.

Hayward is a terrible driver. That's all.
I pray Ty reads this: Randy Foye only has one skill: shooting. He can't drive, he can't pass, he can't rebound, he can't defend, and nobody benefits when he's on the floor if he isn't hitting shots except the other team.
Most importantly, he's NOT the type of player you leave on the floor assuming he will eventually rattle off points or be useful. He's EXACTLY the type of guy you yank when he's disconnected. I was begging for Burks, but it could have been Carroll. Anyone to stop the nightmare of Randy Foye tonight.
He's the new Roger. Better, yeah, but somehow Ty thinks he's really necessary.
The no Al-centric offense was obvious....and horrible. Painfully horrible.Originally Posted by billyshelby

I didn't understand the inbound play to Foye shooting a 2 on the baseline. Considering he's something like -22% from anything not a three...

It makes it even harder when you also have Al on the floor who is mostly there for scoring and a little bit for rebounding and not much else.
Thiiiiiis.
Sadly, Ty is not the only one who needs to get with the program. I have friends who think Foye is the best player on the team. You heard me.
Can someone please make Marvin a Ronnie Brewer highlight tape? The guy can be so effective cutting baseline and cutting in general. He has no offensive skill with the ball at all, but he can be deadly in this league moving without it.
Crazy thing is we barely went post the whole first half. We started going post in the 3rd, and made a little run, but it was too late. I genuinely believe Ty was trying to experiment with a new offense tonight, but he let the experiment go on too long. We didn't run or play D so the half court offense was hardly the cause of the loss, but there is no doubt we ran a terrible half court offense tonight.
I would chalk your friends up to the type of Jazz fan so starved for outside shooting, as we all have been, that they only see his 3pt %. Because he's a pretty worthless basketball player otherwise.
I realize you dislike Al, but his worth is light years beyond Randy Foye.
Here's the thing, before my question what would you have done? Ty is damned for trying this stuff, damned if he doesn't, & damned if he goes Al-centric in response. Maybe he's rolling with the share everything teamball angle. Maybe he's teaching a lesson on the importance of buying into his winning system.
Either way, what should he have done when the Jazz brought it within 4? The game looked like garbage and I have no opinion right now.

I have no issue with experimentation. I have an issue with going too long with it. We hung close with PHX in the first until they went 7-0 to close the quarter and put us down by 12. At that point, we needed to go back to what we were familiar with. Not calling a TO in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd was the other huge mistake. This isn't preseason. You have to win, and Ty lost sight of that. Especially in a game when we have an enormous post advantage with Al/Sap going against Gortat/Scola down low.
I actually like Al. I liked him before he came to the Jazz. My complaint is that Jefferson gets too much playing time and he is not a clearly better overall player that either Millsap or Favors.
I don't get why do we talk so much about Favors, Al or Millsap. Our bigs are usually OK, they are all main strength regardless of who gets most minutes. This game, as in many others, it was our guards who disappeared on offense and were completely outplayed by their counterparts. Hayward and Foye are unbelivably streaky, Tinsley and watson have no offense and Mo is just OK most of the time.
We really need to upgrade our backcourt, otherwise we will be repeatedly outplayed in there.
It looked like we had some momentum there, but really it was just that the Suns slacked off a little. When they brought the intensity back game over. Did not matter who was on the floor. When he brought the vets in they got rolled too. Hangover game.
